November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

[DocumentJourney]

I think another theory is also that different offices handle different parts of the application. In our case, Vancouver is handling our fingerprints. Notice, the fingerprint request letter says that your application processing remains at your local office. Sounds like they delegate different parts of the application then it all falls back to the main office to bring it all together.

We can only speculate about what’s happening here. If you look at the processing timelines, IRCC increased the lead time from 7 to 8 months right at the start of February. I’m still waiting for my test results, and it seems they haven’t even reviewed my application yet. Even if you call IRCC, I’m not sure how much the agents can actually do. They might just offer kind words and encourage you to stay patient while you wait

For sure, this is all speculation, hence my use of the word “theory”.

Your theory seems most plausible to me @DocumentJourney As for the extra month added to the timeline, I suspect it's to cover themselves since the layoffs may impact performance.

Is anyone experiencing an issue with the tracker login in the couple of hours? This morning, I was able to log in, but for the past couple of hours, I haven’t been able to log in. There’s no error message, I cleared the cache, but the issue persists.

New IRCC Update: Canada's Immigration Backlog Cut By 50,200

If you look at the citizenship category, number of pending cases are going up, not down. They are reducing backlog in the temp section.

I had this issue for a few days, trying to login and nothing happens, tried few browsers no success. What fixed it for me is a reset of my password.
